Talk to us about this service

Recruiters and hiring managers rarely read a cover letter in isolation. It's read before your CV — and in those first few seconds it either earns your CV a proper reading, or it doesn't.

A good cover letter shouldn't simply repeat what's already in your CV. It should give the recruiter or hiring manager a clear reason to keep reading: why you, why this role, why now.

The Professional Cover Letter is written specifically around the vacancy you're applying for, bringing together your most relevant experience, achievements and motivation into a letter that positions you before the first page of your CV is turned.

Drawing on 25+ years of recruitment experience, I review your CV alongside the job description to understand what the employer is really looking for — and identify the strongest evidence from your background. Where important information is missing, I'll ask the pertinent questions that help uncover the evidence needed to make your application stronger.

The result is a professional, credible and targeted cover letter designed to complement your CV and strengthen your overall application.

WHO IS THIS SERVICE FOR?

  • Anyone applying for a role where competition is strong and first impressions matter
  • Job seekers whose CV is strong but who find it difficult to write persuasively about themselves
  • Anyone sending the same generic cover letter with every application
  • People who want their cover letter to add something their CV alone doesn't
